I pitted for Maverick in 62-67. The Little Red Wagon had the engine in the bed mouted in a sub frame, a shortened 727 coupled to a dana 70. It had a heavy tailgate. Mostly Bill did it with horsepower. I saw him haze the tires on the tailgate at 1000' at Orange county in 67.

Bob told me a similar story that happened to him. He said at the top end these cars are like a sheet of plywood in the wind. He caught a gust of wind that unloaded the rear tires and they just lit up. Everyone thought he blew the engine, but it was the tires breaking loose.
